The successful applicant will join a team comprising an existing full-time neurology consultant with a special interest in MS and three clinical nurse specialists. In addition to offering clinics, the appointee will participate in local and regional MDT clinical and neuro-radiology meetings, and will supervise and support the MS nursing team. The appointee will be expected to develop systems for the provision and monitoring of patients on DMTs, and to optimize all MS-related patient pathways for safety and efficiency.

The role also includes dedicated time for participation in clinical research. The appointee will be expected to establish the local clinical infrastructure required for recruitment of patients into commercial clinical trials of MS therapies, with the expectation that Reading patients will be routinely given the opportunity to take part in research.
